1. Softswell, a software developer, is trying to determine if any of three potential subcontractors has better programmers in order to outsource a development project. The three subcontractors agreed to test 5 programmers, using a standardized test provided by Softswell, as provided in the data in the Ch06Data Excel workbook. Use the single factor ANOVA Excel tool to determine if there is a significant difference between the scores of programmers at the three contractors at the 5 percent level. 4. A quality analyst at Paintfast Manufacturing Co. wants to determine if a new paint formulation, used to paint parts for a customer's assembly operation will dry fast enough to meet the customer's needs. The customer would prefer to obtain a high level of "dryability" at low temperatures, even if it requires a higher level of drying agent. He hypothesizes that a high level of drying agent will result in high dryability, high temperaturealone-will result in a moderately high level of dryability, and low temperature or a low level of drying agent will result in a low level of dryability. He hopes that the main and interaction effects with the temperature, which is expensive (because an oven would need to be used), will be minimal. The data found in the worksheet Prob. 6-24 in the Excel workbook C06Data were gathered in testing all combinations. What recommendation would you make
